The large scale of Canada’s electrical industry comes partly from the diversity of subsectors, technologies, specializations and project types that comprise it. In such a broad and varied sector, it’s no surprise that the many different forms of leadership pushing it forward are just as wide-ranging.
Highlighting just how diverse leadership can look like across the sector – whether it’s in the type of work being done or in unique paths to career success – is the goal behind Electrical Business’ EMPOWER Electrical Leadership Showcase; a series of profiles looking to share the wide range of people and achievements powering the industry forward.
